«Breaking News» Andrew Marr denies 'getting party political' as he makes impassioned Christmas homelessness plea

Andrew Marr denied he was getting 'party political' today when he made a passionate plea urging the country to do more in combatting the homelessness epidemic sweeping the nation.

During The Andrew Marr Show the former BBC political editor and television presenter urged the UK government to do more in helping those sleeping rough on the streets in the run up to the festive period.

His comments follow a damning UN report on poverty in Britain released earlier this month which condemned the UK government's spending cuts and its treatment of the most vulnerable in society who were allegedly treated as an 'afterthought'. 

Opening his show Marr said: 'Today is the first day of advent. It ought to be a time when we're reflecting on those worse off than ourselves. 

'And after a withering controversial UN report on poverty in Britain it is hard to avoid the subject.

'I am not getting party political but if we don't notice the rough sleepers all around us at this time of year as the sleet comes down and the Christmas lights go up then there is something deeply wrong with us.'

Some viewers shared their support for Marr's outspoken comments and for shedding light on the matter while others thought he had crossed a line. 

@jimellis123 tweeted: 'Controversial moment as Andrew Marr takes his Tory supporting hat off and single-handedly tackles homelessness on Government TV.'

While Secretary for Harrogate & Knaresborough Constituency Labour Party Johnny Paylor tweeted: 'Since Tory austerity, homelessness has increased 134%.'

Peter Stefanovic wrote: 'When Andrew Marr begins his show saying 'I'm not getting party political but if we don't notice the rough sleepers all around us at this time of year there's something wrong with us' you know the country has hit a tipping point.'

 @chrisvw76 tweeted: 'Nice speech Andrew Marr but our current political situation guarantees homelessness. 

'There is not a free market in housing or any social housing policy but trillions of tax payer monies robbed to pour into crony schemes like buy-to-let, HTB, bank bailouts and quantative easing.' 

But Chris Shaw said he had watched Andrew Marr 'actually "getting party political", this morning, despite denying he is...'  

The report by UN rapporteur Professor Philip Alston warned the UK Government's drastic cuts was leading to an increased level of poverty and causing misery for the poorest in the country.

During his 12-day visit to the country Mr Alston said: 'The United Kingdom's impending exit from the European Union poses particular risks for people in poverty, but the government appears to be treating this as an afterthought.' 

According to the report there are currently 14 million people, a fifth of the population, in the UK living in poverty.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
